Dubai announces Jobs for Expo 2020

In line with the UAE Youth
Empowerment Strategy and the Government’s drive to engage with young people,
Expo 2020 Dubai announces the launch of its Apprenticeship Programme which aims
to address youth career development in the UAE. Interested candidates can
register online for training and jobs to work at Expo 2020

Expo 2020 Dubai’s
Apprenticeship Programme seeks to enable unemployed young people to learn
directly from industry experts leading the delivery of Expo 2020 Dubai.

The programme, which will
start in August 2016, is nine-months long and includes career development and
training, a two-month long academic module, and a job placement for a period of
six months with Expo 2020 Dubai, as well as one month for review phases and
graduation.

During that period,
Apprentices will engage in skill-building activities, applied business
challenges, and panel discussions. They will also benefit from ongoing
mentorship, networking opportunities and undertaking an individual capstone
project. Holders of higher diploma or university degrees, both UAE nationals
and residents, aged under 28 years will have the chance to strengthen their
career by contributing to 17 different departments within Expo 2020 Dubai.

Commenting on the launch of
the programme, Manal AlBayat, Vice President of Engagement, Expo 2020 Dubai,
said; “We at Expo 2020 Dubai are committed to supporting youth as part of our
commitment to building a diversified knowledge-based economy. We are confident
that the numerous Expo 2020 Dubai initiatives to engage and empower youth –
most notably the Apprenticeship Programme – will help establish an enduring
legacy for the UAE and the region and will create opportunities for youth to
play a pivotal role in our future”

The Apprenticeship Programme
fits into Expo 2020 Dubai’s larger aspiration of ‘Connecting Minds, Creating
the Future,’ and its subthemes ‘Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability’. The
knowledge, ideas and ambitions of young people will be best put to use through
these apprenticeships as Dubai prepares to host the World Expo.
